I Will Fight Dragons With You
On November 14th at 10:30 AM, Viktorija Adams will be at THE BOOK HOUSE for a meet the author!
A love letter to every child who feels different or alone.
Some children walk the playground by themselves to avoid conflict, some get made fun of for standing out or acting differently than the “norm”, while others have a hard time finding a way to express themselves and discuss these things that are happening to them.
This book is for them and for the parents who see their light and to help them cope and to find their own inner strength together.
Through poetic words and magical illustrations, “I Will Fight Dragons With You” reminds children to follow their heart, trust their instincts, and know their worth. It is both a bedtime affirmation and a promise of unconditional love, and offers a long term path to increase self confidence.
Saturday, November 14th @ 5:00pm: Melissa Elder
In the Quiet
Melissa Elder will be visiting THE BOOK HOUSE for the release of her third book of poems, In the Quiet.
“Melissa Elder’s third collection traverses the map of one woman’s life, from small details—ladybugs, window streaks, a neighbor’s lamp in the night—to larger themes of friendship, motherhood, marriage, faith, and community. Candid, even conversational, these poems invite the reader to observe, grieve, and celebrate the “delicate mess” of midlife. In the Quiet reflects with generosity on what it means to live attentively in a complicated world.”

SNOWBALLED

Tumble down the mountainside with woodland creatures in this wonderfully out-of-control celebration of winter.
Field mouse decorates a tree.
She squints and says, “What’s that I see?”
Here comes snowflake. Rumble, rumble.
There goes field mouse. Tumble, tumble.
A snowflake lands on a mountaintop. It flips and flops, tumbling down into the valley below. First it rolls over Field Mouse, then Rabbit. And that’s when things really begin to snowball.

No Time to Guess
On November 22nd at 11:00 AM, Dr. Karen N. Wasserman will be at THE BOOK HOUSE for children’s reading and meet the author!
In No Time to Guess, a disappointing day at school sends Charlie into a spiral of assumptions when she believes a friend has excluded her from a party. With her mom’s help, she learns to pause, question what she thinks she knows, and seek out the facts before jumping to conclusions.
Using approachable cognitive behavioral strategies, No Time to Guess gives children and parents practical tools for working through negative thought patterns, big feelings, and common social challenges.

The Sight of Sunder
On November 14th, Elizabeth Davison will be at THE BOOK HOUSE for a reading and book signing.
About the Book:
We are, now and forever, joined in time’s design… Since the Ancient Rift, seers of the past and seers of the future have remained divided by centuries of bloodshed and mistrust. The Thirdborne people must be bound by the Threads of Time, with each seer being tethered to their opposite—lest past and future fall to ruin. Most Tethered Pairs resent the souls they are bound to. Emmaline Virell and Matty Fenric, however, are the exception. They’ve spent a lifetime exchanging letters, cool rocks, and birthday gifts, building a love that defies the very Laws meant to keep them apart.
Sunday, November 22 @ 12:00pm
You Were Always Enough
On November 22nd, Carolyn Stanger will be at THE BOOK HOUSE for a reading and book signing.
About the Books:
You Were Always Enough explores self-worth, belonging, and the doubts that make us question whether we are enough, through the gentle, often funny perspective of Carolyn R. Stanger’s rescue dog, Wally. Written for teens and adults, it offers comfort and encouragement to anyone who has felt overlooked, left out, or pressured to change to be accepted. Wally’s lessons remind readers that they deserve connection and acceptance exactly as they are.
